Transliteration:( Qul hal unabbi'ukum bisharrim min zaalika masoobatan 'indal laah; malla'ana hul laahu wa ghadiba 'alaihi wa ja'ala minhumul qiradata wal khanaazeera wa 'abadat Taaghoot; ulaaa'ika sharrum makaananw wa adallu 'an Sawaaa'is Sabeel )
182 This means those who believe in the Prophets will be in the mercy of Allah Almighty anyone who rejects even one prophet, prayers.upon him be the Wrath and Curse of Allah.Â
183. This means oh Yahud, reflect upon your past and present condition then judge for yourselves whether you are the beloved of Allah or the accursed. In the past your faces were changed into pigs and donkeys. You worshipped the calf, and even now you are engaged in idol worship. From this verse, one learns that without firm faith mere ancestry of the pious and their greatness will not help you. The Yahud would show arrogance at being children of prophets.

The tafsir of Surah Maidah verse 60 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Maidah ayat 59 which provides the complete commentary from verse 59 through 63.
(5:60) Then say to them: ‘Shall I tell you about those whose retribution with Allah is even worse? They are the ones whom Allah has cursed, and who incurred His wrath and some of whom were changed into apes and swine, and who served the false deities. Such have an even worse rank and have strayed farther away from the right path.[91]
91. This alludes to the Jews whose history shows that they were subjected, over and over again, to the wrath and scourge of God. When they desecrated the law of the Sabbath the faces of many of them were distorted, and subsequently their degeneration reached such a low point that they took to worshipping Satan quite openly. The purpose of saying all this is to draw attention to their criminal boldness while they had sunk to the lowest level of evil, transgression and moral decadence, they vigorously opposed all those who, thanks to their faith, lived a truly pious and righteous life.
[271]- Referring to the punishment the People of the Scripture (in their censure of the Muslims) claimed was deserved by them. [272]- See footnote to 2:256.
